SE: your deadline

[Crissy]

Not a rant, not a rage-quit, not meant for anyone in the community; only SE.

Square Enix, you have a deadline. I have 3 weeks left on my monthly subscription. You have that long to: (a) fix the myriad problems with machinist dps, or (b) fix the problems with bard stances and mobility, or (c) give the community a commitment to do one or the other by a specific, reasonable date. (Waiting until after Alex is not "reasonable".)

Otherwise, I'll withdraw my subscription. There are other games out there for me to play or go back to, and it is not worth my time and money to be asked consistently to leave a dungeon in the first 30 seconds, because my one character is a bard and my other character is a machinist. (Yes, I can return to BLM, but I never liked the lack of mobility, and there are other games with mobile dps "battle mages".)

That's all. Answer, don't answer, do as you see fit, SE. But now you know my position.
Thanks for the fun, up until Heavensward level 55.

Okay, first of all, you are not their boss so it's not up to you to decide their deadlines. You are only one subscription among many. They are aware of the problems of both Bard and Machinist and have stated so in past threads.

Why are all these types of posts always "me me me!"? Doesn't anyone go through the trouble of forming a petition to show proof that the playerbase is really upset at this? One lost sub isn't going to cause SE to panic like they did after "The Spirits Within."

Ultimatums are a horrible method of getting what you want.

Cya....CAN I HAZ YOUR STUFF?!

This... Do this or I'll unsubscribe attitude, I think the game can do better without it.
Devs and YoshiP have already commented on the WV for BRD and MCH is in the same boat.
They will be keeping an eye on it and adjusting it, they do already see the problem but are still looking for solutions so it is not too unbalanced

I think you're in the wrong place.

[Jacosta]

oh man, they must be scrambling in the SE offices right now trying to figure out how to meet all your demands in time >_>

Never claimed to be their boss, never claimed to give them an ultimatum; not surprised about your reactions. Here's the bottom line: I'm a consumer. Right now, I don't like the "quality" of the product. I don't see any evidence that SE is concerned -- in fact, machinist dps was just debuffed. I'm simply saying -- as a consumer -- that I won't pay for the product unless something is done in a reasonable time-frame. "Something" can merely be an assurance that (a) there is a problem and SE recognizes it, and (b) a promise that something will be done in a timely fashion.

In the context of consumerism and a competitive economy with many entertainment options available, my reaction here is entirely reasonable and fair; your criticisms are not. We are, after all, talking about a product in a commodity-based market... not a religion, cause, or tribe.

Have a nice day!
